Abstract:
Combined detection of the environmental dissolved oxygen and ATP is critically important, but is technically difficult. This work develops an electrochemical biosensor for sequential detection, via the potential-environment dual switching feature of an enzyme-hydrogel. The single electrochemical biosensor offers linear detection ranges both for DO (0.8-8.0 mg L-1) and ATP (0.05-4 µM).

01:17Microbial Biosensors
Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...
01:10Amperometry: Overview
Amperometry is a technique commonly used to measure the concentration of specific analytes in a solution by monitoring the electric current generated during an electrochemical reaction. It involves applying a constant potential between a working electrode and a reference electrode to measure the resulting current, which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte. The Clark oxygen electrode operates based on this principle of amperometry. It consists of a cathode and an anode enclosed...
